The finalists first submitted their applications to their respective universities in one of the following categories: overall project excellence; arts, letters and culture; entrepreneurship, business and economics; aid, peace and justice; environment; health; science and technology applications; society, communications and education; and personality (undergraduate and graduate). Next, four projects or students per category were invited to selection interviews, which led to the choice of finalists.

Engaged students from all across Québec are invited to the Forces AVENIR university gala, which will take place October 2 at Théâtre Granada in Sherbrooke. To be emceed by Gregory Charles, the evening will feature the crowning of the winners, who will receive the prestigious AVENIR trophy. A grand total of $114,000 in bursaries will be shared among the finalists and winners.
